[tarik sayel]

Hi all !!! Hope everyone is well !!!

I have a WAAS environment in place we want to deploying WAAS mobile for teleworkers. My question is, can WAAS mobile works for users that use secure access with https (not vpn connexion)

Thanks in advance !!!

Hi Tarik,

First of all, let me insist on the fact the a WAAS mobile client will not interact with a WAAS appliance on the core side and that you'll need to have a WAAS mobile installed there is you want your teleworkers to get the benefit from WAAS.

That said, let me answer your question: WAAS mobile can indeed accelerate HTTPS traffic.

This is described on page 61 of the following document:
